BAHRAIN’S first public pet park with a ‘home’ for stray dogs is expected to be completed in three years.
Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning Ministry’s Agriculture and Marine Resources vet clinics and disease control section chief Dr Abbas Al Hayki said work on the project would start ‘immediately after a suitable piece of land is found’.
“It would take three years to complete the park once land is allocated. We are aiming to provide tourist and educational activities besides animal services,” said Dr Al Hayki.
“The place would also offer domestic animals, including dogs, for adoption.
“It will feature a spacious and safe shelter for stray dogs.”
Dr Al Hayki, who was speaking at the Southern Municipal Council meeting yesterday, said 3,750 strays had been caught from December 2017 to August 2021. A total of 2,138 dogs were also neutered between January 2019 and August this year.
